We had the opportunity to take part on the Moke Lake horse trek. Would definitely recommend this trek for beginners and families. The views are amazing and all the staff and horses are friendly. A must do when visiting Queenstown :)

We did the Gills Creek tour and our trek was so amazing - cute horses (best regards to Harvey and Dude :) ), scencic view, experienced and reliable guide. It was a great combination of getting in contact with horses and enjoying the stunning nature around Queenstown. We highly recommend Ben Lomond where the staff focuses on animal welfare. It...

I went on the Moke lake trek which was absolutely stunning. The horses are so well looked after and very gentle and obedient. The ride was varied with river crossings, and the guides are very knowledgeable about the beautiful surroundings and wildlife. Many thanks to Valerie, Fleur and the girls for a very professional and fun experience And of course...

I booked this from UK without knowing much about the company. However I had a fantastic time. They offered to collect me and drop me back to my hotel. They have a very good range of horses to cater of all levels of ability. I'm competent and was given the option to canter which was great. I did the longer...

We had a wonderful time on the Gills Creek Trek. We were delayed a day due to unseasonal weather, and they were very accommodating and helpful in re-scheduling us. Our guide and the other staff were helpful, friendly and very approachable. The scenery in this area is amazing, whichever trek you go on. It is a beautiful, peaceful are tucked...
